These strips are na ranged at slight distances apart, so

rrow in width and are aras to Afoi-in slots, 15, between contiguous strips I4. The strips 14 are secured rigidly at their ends to the upper surface of the or bars, 16, thes sired length.

e bais being nia etween the outei s longitudinal strips de of any detrips I6 is n in a detail view in perspective an intermediate strip, 16X, which extends parallel with the strips I6, and to which the strips 14 are also secured, the intermediate strip serving to support the central portion of the table top. In the upper surface ofthe beams 16, 16X, beneath t ie slots 15, are transverse notches, 17, these notches being extended in length and a slight distance beneath the lower surfaces of contiguous strips 14.

Extending in the longitudinal direction of the table top and secured rigidly to the outer surface of one of beams 16, is a narrow strip, 1S, lthe upper portion of which strip extends a short distance above the horizontal line of the upper surface of the table top. A strip, I9, extends transversely to the table top and is secured rigidly to the ends of the bars 16, 16X, at one end of the table, the end of the strip 1S and that of strip 19, which are adj acent to each other at one corner portion of the table, being initered together at 20.

The holder Vfor the glass consists ol' a bar or straight piece of metal or wood, 21, the portions of the sides of which bar at its forward end 22 are inclined inwardly at an angle to the rear end of said bar, the extreme end being rounded at 23, which end 23. is brought in contact with the glass and therefore extends upwardly a distance corresponding to the thickness of plate or cathedral glass. n the rear end of the bar is a longitudinal slot, 2li. rThe clamping device for the holder consists of an upper plate 25, anda lower plate, 26, the plates being short in length an slightly wider than the slot 15, in the table top. These plates are secured together at thc ends by the pins, 27, (see Fig. 7) the pins being slightly longer than the distance 'from the upper to the lower surface of the strips 14:. A separate pin, 28, is connected at its lower end with the lower plate 26, intermediate the pins 27, the upper end of which pin 2S extends through the upper plate 25, and a considerable distance upwardly from the line of the upper surface of said plate and is screw threaded as at 29. The clamping plates are connected to the table top by inserting the pins, 27, of the clamp within the slot 15, the lower plate passingreadily within the notch 17, in the supporting bar 16, and the upper bar 25, being slidable upon the upper surface of the table and inova le longitudiiially in line with the slot I5. The slotted bar or holder 21 is placed in position on tends from the hub 3l upon a line tangential pivot opening 32, the forward end of said arm and the arm 33 in Fig. 6 decreasing gradually in width in the direction of the outer end, the upper portion of said end in Fig'. 6 being iiat while the upper surface in Fig. 5 is similar to the upper surface on Fig. 4. Instead of the clamping device for the the plate 25, the screw threaded end of pin 28 extending Within the slot 24 of the bar or holder 21. Upon the said screw threaded end of pin 28, is fitted a thumb nut 30, which clamps the bar 21, and holds the same adjustably in position. The slots in the table top are provided with the clamps and holders in suitable number, and the holders may be of different lengths, if preferred. older as seen in Fig. 7, Iemploy the modifi- 01' the purpose of holding` ordinary wincation seen on Figs. 8, 9, l0 and 11.. y In this dow @lass in position while being cut the construction, the vertical plate 341s made t0 slide in the slots 15 of the table top.

close in position to the inner surface of the a screw threaded transverse opening, 36, in strip 18. The thumb nut 30 being loosened the plate, the outer surfaces of the screw on the pin 28 of the clamp, the end 23 of the being' fiat and in the same plane with the ar 21 is moved so as to come firmly into outer surfaces of the plate 34. Upon the Contact with the longer portion of the glass upper end of the screw is a fiat head, 37, by means of which the screw is operated. In a half way turn of the screw 35, the portions of the threads in the threaded portions of the transverse opening 36, are extended outwardly and g'rasp the sides of the slot 15.

The table top may be supported by trusses or in any other suitable manner and the top extended in length and width.

It is obvious that the adjustable holders may be arranged upon the table so as to grasp the glass from opposite directions and the strips 18 and 19 employed or not, as preferred. Instead of the notches 17 in the bars 16, grooves 40 may be made in the separate strips composing the table top as seen in Fig. 12, and such other modifications employed as are within the scope of the invention.

on the table top, and the thumb nut turned so as to clamp the bar firmly to plate 25. this position of the bar 21, the glass isprebeing' squared at its outer end or cut into various sizes, an or dinary scale being conveniently made on the strips 18 and 19.

For the purpose of holding fractional portions of art glass in the construction of windows of such material, it has been the custom heretofore to employ nails to hold the fractional portions of a panel in position upon the table top. After a time, the repeated penetration of the wood by the nails breaks the liber and the nails fail to hold the portions of the glass in position in the panel. -n the present invention, any degree of firmness may be obtained necessary to hold the glass in position, and at any angle, the adjustment being' quickly obtained of the bar 21, and without danger of breaking the glass, which frequently occurs in driving the nails in the securing' of the glass upon the ordinary glaziers table. I

As shown in Fig. 2, which illustrates an art panel upon the table top, the holders, 21, are s own, obtaining a purchase radial to the pin 2S. Many of the fractional portions of the cut glass, when placed in position, require a direct pressure and at the same time not obstruct the work. For this purpose, I employ I now claim as new and desn'e to secure by Letters Patent is:
